Electric Fiat 124

[ElectricSpider]

1973 Fiat 294 "Oriental Yellow". We are using a period correct paint code to match the retro design mods we are incorporating into the build.

The work you guys are doing is incredible. I have an orange 1978 resto-mod that I will be repainting soon. Can you reveal the color code you used for your orange?

[Zoofly]

It's a great color. It looks modern like the "Mustang Fury" orange but even better, is it's true to the period you're going for.

Custom three hole cluster is being made is dark wood. Will be a 2 piece dash similar to the Red electric Fiat build. ......

Motor mount placement. Picked up a couple mounts from Autoricambi. The upper brackets pick up the ears of the motor adapter plate. Places motor weight forward nicely.

And Away we go with all new and repaired underparts in preparation for the EV system.....

Suspension all off. New trans ready (Thanks Matt from Midwest Bayless)



Rear End needs a little love. Rust be gone time:



See through parts:)



Driveline off to balance and get new carrier bearings etc

[ElectricSpider]

Rebuilt Driveline and balanced.





Parts and hardware:)



Rebuilt hubs..... note the milled edges to fit the new wheels......





These were toast..... But a little fab work, rebuild and powder coat.... it will be up tp par.

[ElectricSpider]

Installation starting.... This week will have P&P EV System installed. Pre-bench tested and wires ready for installation.

Some buttoning up of the Tesla S battery Module



Mated to the new 124 Trans for easy drop in.



Custom motor mount off the adapter plate face.



Using a stock Fiat motor mount which will connect up to the OEM mount positions.



Thanks to Mark Allison for rebuilding the rear end and turning it around fast! All new everything under the car.

Will you be offering plug and play kits for the 124?

[ElectricSpider]

Yes! It will be our 1st system ready to go. We are essentially open to orders for the 124 system. One has been ordered for a neat 124 build in Seattle that should be a fun watch @project_eabarth being performed @theshopseattle

We will be documenting and posting the installation work this and next week on instagram @electricgte and also @electronmonkey. Some youtube and posts here will be made as well.

There will be 2 battery/motor options: 25/35 kWhr Tesla based modules mated with the 120/144v Hyper 9 motors respectively. The 144v motor has a bit longer torque run out on RPM’s. Base info: 125HP/175ft-lbs.

We are solidifying the final components list and labor to pre-build/run the systems. Complete assembly and bench testing occurs prior to shipping. 90 day order time frame currently. Looks like it will be a little more than the price of buying @8 decent Fiat 124’s:) $35-40k. 25/35 and the any shop/folks w some basic fabrication will be able to install the system. Systems specs @ options coming as well.

Fabricating Motor mount brackets v1.0:

Thanks for the updates. I’m a fan of what you’re doing and think we’ll be seeing more and more of this type of mod in the near future.

I haven’t read everything in this thread and apologize if this was previously discussed, but how does the convertible top effect the aerodynamic efficiency? I’m guessing it’s significant if long range is the goal.

[ElectricSpider]

Convertible top make it plain fun:). A little progress..... Motor mount arms will be redone with one piece billet arms (Adpater plate face to stock motor mounts) now that we have the motor alignment. Super easy to drop in when we finish it up.

Hyper 9 Motor and Controller installation....


Looks good with the retro styling and grill....


Rough fitment but wait til we put all the 3D printed parts in and clean this up:)


LED headlights, running and turn signal...


LED side markets all around....

[RRoller123]

Really nice, and the wave of the future. For now, meaning waves follow other waves and are followed by the next wave. You will have one of the original classics in years to come!

The level of attention to detail in the body and interior would be impressive on any car - electric or not.
